SELF-REGULATING HEATING CABLES: TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Self-regulating cables are the most commonly used in external contexts, such as for heating ramps, gutters, and roofs. Based on the external temperature, the cable activates and adjusts its power and temperature to prevent the formation of ice or snow. Their activation is automatic, and the power output of the cable also varies with the external temperature.

Compared to constant power cables, self-regulating cables offer more precise temperature control and eliminate the risk of overheating, but they operate within a more limited external temperature range.

Operating temperature: -35/-20°C – 60/100°C

Why Choose a Self-Regulating Cable?
Here are the advantages of using a self-regulating heating cable:

  • No risk of overheating
  • Precise temperature control
  • Ideal for outdoor use during winter
REQUEST INFORMATION

CONSTANT TEMPERATURE CABLES: SPECIFICATIONS AND USE CASES

Constant temperature cables are designed to maintain a preset temperature without being affected by the external environment. They are primarily used in industrial settings for heating tanks, vats, and cisterns. Compared to self-regulating cables, constant temperature cables have a wider operating temperature range.

Operating temperature range: -60°C – 200°C

Why use a constant temperature heating cable?

Here are the advantages:

  • More robust and durable
  • Operate at high temperatures
  • Ideal for industrial use
REQUEST INFORMATION

HEATING CABLES FOR GUTTERS, RAMPS, AND PIPES

In domestic settings, heating cables are primarily used to protect pipes, gutters, or ramps from extreme cold and snow accumulation. In these contexts, self-regulating cables are ideal, activating only when winter temperatures reach a certain threshold to prevent breakage or ice formation.

HEATING CABLES IN INDUSTRIAL USE

In industrial processes, heating cables are primarily used to maintain a constant temperature for fluids contained in tanks and reservoirs. Another use is to protect pipes and machinery involved in production from extreme temperatures.

Heating cables are coated with thermoplastic material, making them ideal for industrial contexts where corrosive substances are used. Among the most commonly used cables in industrial settings are those with mineral insulation.
